Access to the strategies of the world's leading private equity managers is still largely reserved for institutional investors. But new investment formats are now seeking to open up these opportunities to a wider audience of private investors.
This is the ambition of Nadim Takchi, CEO ofOpenstone, which develops evergreen funds specialized in real estate private equity and private debt, aimed at wealth management advisors, family offices and private banks.
The principle is simple: give investors indirect access to strategies managed by some of the world's leading players, such as BlackRock, Carlyle, EQT, Goldman Sachs and Ares, through diversified portfolios.
Unlike traditional closed-end funds, evergreen funds offer a more flexible framework, enabling continuous investment while benefiting from long-term exposure to private markets.
Launched in early 2025, the Openstone platform has already achieved a first milestone, with 50 million euros raised in its first year.
In this interview, Nadim also discusses the central role of technology in the development of the platform, with digital tools to simplify investor onboarding, automate numerous processes and facilitate the work of partners.
An approach that combines financial engineering and technology, with a clear ambition: to make institutional private market strategies progressively accessible to private investors.
